The electroluminescence of organic films is the central aspect in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and widely used in current display technology. However, its spatial variation on the molecular scale is essentially unexplored. Here, we address this is ...
The anatase phase of TiO2 is a key material in the third generation of photovoltaics and for photo-catalytic devices. The number of promising applications, where one would profit from the electronic degrees of freedom of the material, like in memristors, s ...
The Hall Effect sensors are one of the most commonly used sensing technologies today. They are employed in many applications for direct magnetic field sensing and serve a multitude of low power applications within automotive and industrial electronics as c ...
Much effort over the past decades has been focused on improving carrier mobility in organic thin-film transistors by optimizing the organization of the material or the device architecture. Here we take a different path to solving this problem, by injecting ...
Thermal conductivity (k) plays an essential role in functional devices. In some cases, high value is required to transfer heat efficiently. In others, low k assists in maintaining a temperature gradient necessary for device operation. It is profitable to d ...
Organic semiconductor materials have been widely applied in optoelectronic devices to replace their inorganic counterparts and explore new fields of applications. Due to their high extinction coefficients, chemical tunability and solubility, cyanine dyes a ...
The term "spin caloritronics" defines a novel branch of spintronics that focuses on the interplay between electron spins with heat currents. In the frame of this research area, this thesis is aimed at investigating the effect of a heat current on magnetiza ...
The majority of interactions in solids strongly depend on the interatomic distances. The application of pressure changes the lattice parameters and modifies the electronic and the phononic energy spectra of a material avoiding some of the undesirable effec ...
Thermoelectric effects in microstructured permalloy (Py) / gold (Au) wires are investigated using spatially and time-resolved measurements based on scanning focused laser heating. Supported by numerical simulations of the temperature distribution, we ident ...
We have measured the pressure and temperature dependences of the resistivity and the thermoelectric power of anatase, TiO2. The resistivity varies with T-3 at high temperatures, and its absolute value is in the 1 Omega cm range. Below 60 K, the resistivity ...
